Also, an affair is only blackmail material in a society of prudes. I recall the story about a president who was confronted with condemning photos of his activities by CIA agents, and he pretty much encouraged the agents to publish the photos.
You don’t have to be a prude to think cheating on a spouse is condemnable.
In general, it also doesn’t really matter what society thinks. You can just threaten to reveal the affair to the spouse. And even in the case the spouse doesn’t really care it’s fodder they can potentially use in a divorce to get a better deal.
For better or worse, this is the world we live in.
Sukarno. "Project Happy Days", lol.

Or Charlie Sheen...
I guess politicians, celebrities and CEOs are another world from us mere mortals.....
No? All it requires is for Jensen to want to remain with his wife, and for his wife to be willing to divorce him if she finds out he has an affair. Very little involvement from society in that one.
